The 300 new apartments at 1373 Lexington Rd are beginning to take shape. The plans are for leasing office and clubhouse to be open in mid-September, with the first units ready for residents in mid-December, bringing 20 units on line every few weeks. The project should be 100% complete by June, 2017.

After planning to hold a community meeting in Feb., Louisville Metro has gone back to re-do the traffic counts. Since some area road construction has wrapped, they will have better data to establish a final design and timeline for paving and adding bike lanes. In the meantime, it’s a pretty bumpy ride through the area.

Thanks to Kevin Stich and Steve Conley, IH now has an outlet for your pop culture needs. Located at 361 Baxter Ave. they have everything you need to get your nerd on – comics, toys, collectibles and a large space for playing. Check out their gaming schedule and upcoming events at heroescg.com.

The Irish Hill Neighborhood Association, in partnership with the Mayor’s “Give a Day” initiative, the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and Brightside, is holding our spring neighborhood cleanup on April 26th from 9am until noon. Join us and students and families from SBTS as we de-litter Irish Hill. Plenty of trash bags and gloves will be provided. If you have rakes, shovels or brooms, please bring them with you. Accompanied kids are welcome. Meet at Irish Hill Park at the intersection of Cooper & Lexington Rd.

Residents and business associates are encouraged to walk to the meet up site. If you are driving, parking is available at Irish Hill Park. If you have any questions, please email us at info@irishhillneighbors.org.
